End cost would be: $24,000 Case; $61,000 UConn. I have a geographical preference for the East Coast, though not an enormous preference.

You're not going into an enormous amount of debt at either, however, unless you have an unrelenting desire to work in Connecticut I'd recommend saving the 37k and taking Case. Keep in mind if the scholarship they offered you has a GPA contingency this is definitely something to consider, as you might lose the scholarship and stuck at Case paying full bill.
